Distributed Minimum Cut Approximation
We study the problem of computing approximate minimum edge cuts by distributed algorithms. We present two randomized approximation algorithms that both run in a standard synchrono...

A polynomial-time approximation scheme for planar multiway cut
Given an undirected graph with edge lengths and a subset of nodes (called the terminals), the multiway cut (also called the multi-terminal cut) problem asks for a subset of edges,...

Sketching valuation functions
Motivated by the problem of querying and communicating bidders’ valuations in combinatorial auctions, we study how well different classes of set functions can be sketched. More...

Constant factor approximation algorithm for the knapsack median problem
We give a constant factor approximation algorithm for the following generalization of the k-median problem. We are given a set of clients and facilities in a metric space. Each fa...

Constructing high order elements through subspace polynomials
Every finite field has many multiplicative generators. However, finding one in polynomial time is an important open problem. In fact, even finding elements of high order has n...

Beyond myopic best response (in Cournot competition)
A Nash Equilibrium is a joint strategy profile at which each agent myopically plays a best response to the other agents’ strategies, ignoring the possibility that deviating fro...

Lower bounds for number-in-hand multiparty communication complexity, made easy
In this paper we prove lower bounds on randomized multiparty communication complexity, both in the blackboard model (where each message is written on a blackboard for all players ...

Simultaneous approximations for adversarial and stochastic online budgeted allocation
Motivated by online ad allocation, we study the problem of simultaneous approximations for the adversarial and stochastic online budgeted allocation problem. This problem consists...

Analyzing graph structure via linear measurements
We initiate the study of graph sketching, i.e., algorithms that use a limited number of linear measurements of a graph to determine the properties of the graph. While a graph on n...
